A disproportionately small group of businesses in California control 30% of “small” grower licenses. Since Jan. 1, California has awarded about 540 temporary licenses for “small” operations: grows that are less than one-quarter of an acre outdoors or less than 10,000 square feet indoors. Approximately 250 businesses have been awarded licenses for small cultivation. However, 10 of those businesses control about 30 percent of the licenses awarded, signaling the beginning of the "Big Weed" takeover, against which small cultivators have been fighting. – SACRAMENTO BUSINESS JOURNAL
